    Excuse. Hire promising driver, Ingram, Gryazin or Solberg. Then put Kopecky in other car and one of those two can win the title pretty easy.

    Didn't VAG dictate in the past in case of Seat?

    And what they need to achieve more? To me it's more like if Hyundai really steps in they maybe don't want to lose to them...

    Maybe Skoda wanted to avoid paying 150 000 dollars entry fee for a WRC2 factory entry like this year? Instead, they'll just support private teams and claim being winners at the end of the year?

    Cars can't score points in WRC2 unless the registration fee is paid by the manufacturer.

    Is this just assumed by remaining the same from 2019 or do you know it will be like that in 2020?

    Possible. Maybe saving for a huge development (fingers crossed)... You know what I mean.

    Waste of money for nothing. And Skoda knows very well that WRC2 Pro was introduced mainly to dig money from Skoda...

    You know what? I would be totally happy if Skoda will develop some next generation R5 rally car (they say it should be also some kind of hybrid) in near future instead of switching to circuit racing like E-TCR. THAT would be disaster.
    Visit South Moravia. It is the real paradise

    Some answers on WRC2/3:

    PARTICIPATION IN FIA WRC2
    6.2.1 In order to score points in the WRC2 Championship for
    Teams supported by a Manufacturer or independent, Drivers,-
    Co-Drivers and Teams must register with the FIA before the
    closing date of entries of the first rally entered. Registration in
    the WRC2 Championships is set at €100,000 for teams with
    the Manufacturer name in the title or €10,000 for a private
    team. Any manufacturer registered as per Art. 5.2 does not
    need to pay the individual WRC Championship fee for Manufacturers.
    6.2.2 Any team registered in WRC2 may not enter more than two
    (2) cars in each championship rally and must participate in a
    minimum of 8 rallies with a minimum of one car, including one
    rally outside of Europe. All cars will be taken into account for
    the points.
    6.2.3 In order to score WRC2 Championship points, the entry in
    individual rallies must be made using the FIA standard entry
    form in the name of the competitor as stated on the licence
    used to register in this Support Championship.
    6.2.4 When a Team enters a rally as per Art. 6.2.3, the driver and
    co-driver will automatically score points.
    6.3 PARTICIPATION IN FIA WRC3
    6.3.1 In order to score points in the WRC3 Championship, drivers
    must register with the FIA before the closing date of entries of
    the first rally entered. Registration for the WRC3 Championship, set at €3,000, must be made in the name of a driver
    holding a current and valid competitor’s licence. Co-drivers
    are not required to register. Drivers who hold a licence from the ASN of the organising country in which they participate as
    a first event, are not requested to pay the WRC 3 registration
    fee. However, this registration fee must be paid, should the
    driver enter another event as a WRC3 driver during the same
    calendar year.
    6.3.2 In order to score WRC3 Championship points, the entry in
    individual rallies must be made using the FIA standard online
    entry form at https://registrations.fia.co/rally Any entry thus
    submitted shall always be considered as one of the 7 rallies
    as per Article 6.4.4, unless the Stewards grant a case of force
    majeure upon individual application which must be supported
    by clear evidence.
    6.3.3 WRC3 registered competitors/drivers wishing to enter a rally
    without scoring WRC3 Championship points shall enter as a
    non-priority driver using the FIA standard online entry form at
    the address given in the supplementary regulations of the rally.

    POINTS
    6.4.1 For the awarding of points, a separate classification of the
    teams, drivers and co-drivers eligible to score points in that
    specific rally will be drawn from the general classification.
    Points scored in the Support Championships shall always be in
    the name of the team, driver and co-driver.
    6.4.2 The WRC2 Champion title for teams will be awarded to the
    team who has scored the highest number of points at the end
    of the year. All the results will be taken into account when
    drawing up the final classification of the Championship.
    6.4.3 The WRC 2 Champion titles for Drivers and Co-Drivers will
    be awarded to the driver and co-driver who have scored the
    highest number of points from 8 of the rallies in which they
    were entered by a team registered in the WRC 2 Championship.
    6.4.4 The WRC3 Champion titles for Drivers and Co-Drivers will
    be awarded to the driver and co-driver who have scored the
    highest number of points from 6 of the first 7 rallies which they
    have entered to score points. In the remaining rallies they may
    neither score nor detract points from other registered drivers.
